Johnson In Brief Medford Visit (Editor' Note: "Tha brLghUat vom&n reporter encountered on thU trip." That's what Oeneral Hugh 8 Johnson, head of the NBA, thinks of Mlsa Irva Pewell, staff member of the Mall Tribune. The general siid so yesterday, when he called At the newspaper office for copies of the wi per. Just off the press with latest news of the strike situation. The re covery chief had flown to Medford airport from Portland, en route to San Francisco, and was brought Into town for lunch by C. Y. Tengwald. Miss re we 11, who had gone to the airport to Interview Johnson, secured the fol ios. Ing story during the ride from the airport.) VV fry'" , y 1 Oeneral HnKh 8. Johnson (If ft) shown shaking hands ivlth President RooMTelt on the recent occasion of t)ie first birthday of the Nntlonnl He oorery Administration. Airplanes, so Oeneral Hugh S, John on says, are fine plaooa to (leop. 'And appearing refreshed from his nap on the big army bomber that brought nlm here from Portland, the Blue Sagle administrator, a striking fig ure In his Immaculate white ault, stepped onto the field at the Med ford municipal airport a bit after 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon rubbing his eyea. "We had a parachute on you most of the time on the way down here," W. B. Dotph, radio aide, told his chief. "We weren't even going to wake you up Just roll you out If necessary." It was hard to realize at the mo ment that this big man, smiling and pleasant, bad all the blue eagles in the United States to worry about. and as If that weren't enough, was that very afternoon Invading the atrlke-rldden San Francisco bay dis trict, to do his pnrt In bringing about a, discontinuance of the terrorizing outbreaks. He waa wearing a white Panama that seemed to accentuate his ruddy face, and one couldn't Ignore thst bright red rose In the lapel of this coat. The general was In a Jovial mood, ao It didn't take much effort to get hie opinion on Important phaaea of the Pactfle coast etrlkea. Between querlea and quotes, however, the "militant salesman" got his parly organized to oome Into town for luncheon. Thers waa mention of chicken sandwiches, beer and milk, along with communications to the President, apeaklng engagemente, and what would become of the atrlke. Then a polite reminder to the press that there ahould not be too many direct questions, especially about the topics foremost In hla messages to President Roosevelt. - Oeneral Johnson, his secretary. Mist Frances Robinson, Colonel I. W. Leh and w. B. Dolph motored Into Med. ford with Carl y. Tengwald. En route the KHA administrator asked If this was the usual weather, and after some Indistinct mutterlngs, was reminded by Miss Robinson that he didn't even like good weather. The admtnlatrator will apeak tnls venlng at the Oreek theater In Berk, eley, where he made his first and only public address before he became Roosevelt'a "Man Friday." "The occasion for that address," the general laughed, "was at the close of my academic education In Cali fornia, It was when Hiram Johnson was governor and the late David Stair Jordan, the well-known pacificist, was also present. I gave a speech on pre paredness. "Jordan, In his talk, declared that any future war oould not laat any great length of time, and X told them that war could last Just as long as there waa human life to draw a breath." Inquiring aa to the alze of Medford, Oeneral Johnaon was Informed there were 13.000 people (Chamber of Com merce figures), when told the of ficial census showed 10,847, the gen eral, smiling, remarked In a consoling tone: "I heard you the. first time." "We had trouble with you people out here In Oregon and Washington during the war. All the reports on the population were turned In, but as we had to use the United States census figures, to decide the number of enlistments, It nearly depopulated your atate. "The governor of Oregon called us and aald, 4You know It makes It pretty embarrassing for mo to have these ftgurea cut down thla way.1 We Informed him that he had to admit he waa a liar either then or before for with no more enlistments, they must be traltora, or else the popula tion figures were wrong." Bven after the population disserta tion, Oeneral Johnson was surprised ANDERSON LOSES CLAIM FOR $1500 ON TOFT ESTATE In a conclusion of law and find ings of facts in the suit of Carl An derson against Fred E. Wahl, admin istrator of the estate of Ray H. Toft, filed yesterday, Circuit Judge H. D, Norton holds that Anderson Is en titled "to no part of his claim," re verses an order of the probate court In granting him one-half of his claim and further decrees that the Toft estate shall have Judgment against Anderson for the most of the hear ings. Administrator Wahl is upheld In his disallowance of the claim. Anderson filed a claim of approxi mately 1000 against the Toft estate. A hearing last winter before the pro bate court awarded him half of hts claim. Anderson, appealed to the circuit court, which reversed the low er court findings. The findings hold that Anderson and Toft were Intimate friends and that Anderson was treated "as member of the family," and lived at the Toft homes In this city and Jack sonvlUe. The findings hold that the services rendered would about cover "board and room." Anderson claimed that the services and work were performed between June 1, 1031, and December 1, 1933. The court finds, "the evidence shows that between June 1, 1031, and No vember 18, 1933, Anderson was em ployed In. hts own behalf at Pros pect and Cblloquln," and that "the relation of employer and employe did not exist," The court further holds that "Toft was amply able to pay for use of an auto and any repairs thereto.' Toft, a long-time and well-to-do resident of the county, was found dead in his home at Jacksonville two years ago under circumstances strong ly Indicating suicide Financial wor ries and 111 health were attributed as the reason for the act. The findings also show that An derson waa named as an appraiser of the estate and received $60 pay as such. Toft held rather extensive realty holdings In this city and Jacksonville.
